Cleaning services are required by a great many local authorities and other public sector clients. The industry that they deal with has a number of noteworthy technical and legal features. In recent years few other areas of public procurement law have the review channels been dealt with in such detail. This imposes particular demands on the process of tendering for cleaning services. Bidding for lot-by-lot allocation, issues of suitability and evaluation, social insurance and labour law aspects as well as environmental and energy efficiency considerations are just some of the topics which have acquired growing importance. The new laws regarding pay rate commitments and the award of contracts in a number of German states contain further provisions which have to be considered when tenders are being invited.

The discussions will also address the question of whether, after some years of agreement on wages in Germany, a conflict can be expected, as has already been the case with day care centres, the railways and airline pilots. Speakers: Thomas Conrady, Member of the BIV National Board and Chairman of the BIV Collective Bargaining Committee, Iris Helbeck, Senior Executive of the Brandenburg-East Guild, Stephan Schwarz, Member of the BIV National Board, Mike Schneider, Deputy Chairman of the BIV Collective Bargaining Committee,

In the hotel industry professional standards of cleanliness and hygiene make a significant contribution to a feeling of wellbeing. This goes without saying, or? But what aspects should one consider, as a responsible buyer, in order to be able to choose a suitable and reliable provider of hotel cleaning services? The main points will be highlighted, from the legal parameters that must be complied with, to quality requirements and staff training for the service provider.

Speaker: Sascha Kühnau, member of the Berlin Professional Association for Domestic Services, Training and Consultancy.
In addition to the cleaning of buildings, many building cleaning service providers also offer catering services. These range from full scale catering to the dispensing of food. In all of these cases it is essential to supply or distribute the legally required information about any allergens contained in the food. The need to provide explanations is a very important aspect of such liability and all companies must therefore take steps to ensure the reliable provision of such details. A number of suitable examples will be discussed.
3.30 – 4.15 p.m.:
“Safe Process Technology in the Cleaning of Hospitals”.
Speaker: Udo Weissmantel, multi service provider.
Here the emphasis is on the effective supervision of cleaning and hygiene processes in the cleaning of hospitals through the use of quality management and measurement systems that can be monitored, managed and documented using forms as well as software. It also involves cleaning systems and systems for processing cleaning textiles, ensuring that hospitals can be cleaned with the necessary quality and hygiene standards. Effectiveness – transparency – safety: these are the advantages offered by the IT-controlled process technology with which we make your everyday work more efficient.
4.15 - 5 p.m.:
“Tendering for Services – Avoiding Legal Traps – Mobilising Commercial Success Factors”.
Speaker: Siegfried Loewenguth, Dipl.-Kfm. Chief Executive, lifeline Beratungsgesellschaft für Betriebsorganisationsplanung im Gesundheitswesen mbH.
For many health care facilities the award of contracts for services continues to be of primary importance in their efforts to maximise their potential. But to what extent a potential actually exists, how it can be exploited, and to what extent, is not always unambiguously defined. All too often clients left are dissatisfied with the award of contracts and the ensuing collaboration with the appointed service company, despite the fact that all the prerequisites for lasting success were available beforehand. This paper seeks to show the individual pitfalls prior to and during the award process, the criteria that should be applied to avoid unpleasant surprises after the contract has been awarded, and the minimum requirements that should be included in the award documentation. Service level agreements are used to show how the quality of the contractor’s services are managed following adoption of the service areas and, at the same time, how an internal management and monitoring system can be implemented for the services to be provided.
